Best Foot Forward

Back blip

Didn't sleep well last night and got up this morning feeling vulnerable, low on energy and grumpy. My right arm's really painful with using the crutches and that's making it difficult to move around as I dont want to make it worse.

I'm still having problems giving myself the injections, so got my friend Mila to come and do it today. She was recently in crutches herself and can see the different phases I'm going through. Thank goodness it's not just me, as this phase of feeling useless, a nuisance, and really grumpy is not great! She also helped with the new way of using the crutches and being able to put a little weight down on my plastered foot. Not as easy as one would think and I think I overdid it yesterday after the hospital visit. I also did my first practice of going up and down the stairs - just up and down 4 - but such an effort! Bb and I talked about it afterwards and decided that the best thing really is just to avoid stairs if possible and that should indeed be possible for a few weeks more.

We met Philippa after work again as it was the assessor's visit today and I wanted to hear all about it and knew that she'd be relieved and would want to talk about it.

Glad today was over!
